Well, Its been 40000 kms, 3 years 6 states (Kerala to Jharkhand) for my Manza Quadrajet. I have driven in all types of roads and the car has been a true companion always. So this time we went for a weekend trip with family to Ooty. The hotel we stayed was located on top of a hill and approach road was very steep. We went up fully loaded, with ease. Actually I never ever felt any problem concerning power. But this time, I faced a strange problem while going to nearby Dodapetta peak. About 500 m before the peak, I stopped my car (the car ahead of me stopped) and then the car lost its power and refused to climb. It was strange because I never faced this earlier. Had to engage parking brake and rev really hard to climb up. Well that was it. We came down, went to Cunnoor and back to hotel on steep roads. And everything seemed normal.
Before I started the journey, the car was serviced at TASS in Bangalore. Air filter, Fuel Filter, Engine oil were renewed. So that rules out blocked air or fuel filter.
What could be the reason?
